Most of the other Chapters of the book dealt with the Voltage Source Converter, a power converter structure built of 6 bi-directional switches and supplied from a voltage source. An alternative topology consists of a Current Source Converter [1,2,3] (Figure 15.1). Such converter structure is built of 6 unidirectional switches and it is supplied from a current source. This means the converter must always ensure a current circulation and a path for this current. Furthermore, the current circulation is unidirectional from the DC current source to the load (for a Current Source Inverter), or from the AC grid to the DC current load (for an AC/DC Current Source Converter). The possible ...
